Support Us

Center of Wonder is a 501(c)3 support organization for our arts and creative education community. We depend on the generosity of donors like you to help us fulfill that mission. Your tax-deductible donation will provide support to Artists-in-Residencies, Creative Education and strategic partnerships to further a collective cultural vision.

Center of Wonder’s is currently accepting applications for our Spring 2018 grant cycle.

An application and budget are due by 5 pm on Friday, March 9, 2018. If you have questions or would like to receive the application and budget in Word and Excel formats, please email Lyndsay or call 307-413-1800.

Center of Wonder’s grants programs provide support to creative leaders, non-profit organizations and artists. They empower our creative community to take artistic risks and contribute to a vibrant arts culture. Proposals should address one of the following community needs, and be accessible to a broad spectrum of community members:

Creative Education: To support creativity for all ages in our community and school programs that encourage teaching, learning and experiencing the arts.

Artist-in-Residencies: To support artist in residency programs in all disciplines that encourage the creation, presentation and sharing of art in Jackson.

Storytelling: Giving voice to the stories that connect and inspire us.

All applicants must be a 501(c)3 designated organization, or be fiscally sponsored by one. At least one applicant organization must have a mission that promotes culture or the arts in Jackson Hole. A 1:1 cash match is required for all projects.

Arts for All grants

Our Arts for All grants program is supported by social service tax dollars from the Town of Jackson and Teton County. Non-profit organizations and individual artists can apply for funds to support arts education, producing and presenting opportunities, and public projects with a strong community benefit.

“Center of Wonder is not just a funder for us. They are true collaborators. They work closely with us in the planning process and make it possible for Dancers’ Workshop to dream. Their commitment and support is unparalleled by any other organization in this community. This support leads the way for us to be able to say YES! to projects, because we know we have a foundation to start from.”

Teton ArtLab

“With Center of Wonder’s support, the Teton ArtLab has been able to offer 14 fellowships to visiting artists from 3 countries and 9 states in the last year. These fellowships cover private room, studio, and artist stipends for 1 month each. The cross cultural exchange these artists have had with our community has been incredibly important to the growth of our culture, connecting our region with the rest of the international art community.”
